Dark dodged a fireball that was coming right for his face, coming so close that the soft baby hairs on his skin singed. He'd done it. He'd finally been able to steal the key to free Anti. All it took was a few weeks of very closely studying Lucifer, even if it meant spying through the keyhole of his chambers to see where he put the damn key after gorging himself on Antis sweet body.

"GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE RAT!" Lucifers voice sounded throughout the castle walls, making small puffs of dust fall down. Dark had to hurry. He knew Lucifer wouldn't give as much mercy as last time. He sprinted down dozens of corridors, which he'd made sure to map in his mind. He knew exactly which hall to go down to escape and had plenty of back ups.

Dark turned down the last hallway and slammed into the doors of the room Anti was in. The small demon let out a squeak of surprise and fear, giving Dark a questioning look.

"What's going on?" Anti inquired as Dark sprang forward, hastily fiddling with the locks and key. "I'm getting us out of here," Dark panted, out of breath from running. As soon as the chains were unlocked, Dark quickly helped him out of bed.

Anti whimpered as he collapsed to the floor, his legs weak from nearly a month of constant fucking and no proper exercise. Dark growled in frustration and kneeled down in front of him, "get on my back, quickly!" The guards were closer now, their steps sounding like Darks racing heartbeat. Anti nodded and quickly got onto his back, holding on tight.

Dark lifted him up, holding his legs so he wouldn't fall and sprinted out the room. He turned into the hall he needed to go just as the guards made it to the room. They had time and distance on their side this time.

Dark made his way all the way down to a secret passageway that are used by servants to tend to rooms of the castle unnoticed. He pushed the tapestry that cloaked the door away and went in, silently shutting the door.

"I need you to stay very quiet for me, ok sweetie?" Dark whispered and Anti replied with a small nod. The two sneaked their way through the secret corridors, making as little noise as possible. Through the air vents, Lucifer could be heard snapping orders to everyone. Footsteps were everywhere, sounding like a horse race while the devil got angrier by the minute.

Dark finally made it down to the connecting sewers, a single, rickety boat floating on the surface. "Isn't this the river of lost souls?" Anti breathed as he was gently placed in the boat. "Yes, stay far away from the boats edge," Dark got into the boat and started paddling out.

Soon enough, they were out of the sewers and floating further and further away from the castle, still no one had spotted them. Anti chewed his lip nervously, glancing from the castle to the river as lost souls started to drift by them. Dark quickly pulled him away as a soul clung to the boat, trying to grab him. "Away from the edge," he said firmly. Anti gulped and nodded, sticking closer to him now.

They were very close to the end of the river, and to the door, when a guard spotted them through the window of the castle. In a flash, the glass shattered to reveal Lucifer, in his true demon form, flying straight for them. "Dark..." Anti whimpered in fear.

Dark growled softly and grabbed Anti, "hold on tight." He jumped out the boat into the river. Anti squealed and clung onto him as souls began grabbing at them. Dark pushed through them, pushing the souls away with energy power. Lucifer was gaining on them quickly, as Dark tried wading as fast as he could through the water.

They very finally at the edge, climbing out and sprinting towards the door now. Lucifer was barreling towards them, a murderous look on his face. "Almost there," Dark breathed as he carried Anti closer to freedom. But they were much too slow, Lucifer was gaining on them too quickly.

Anti looked at the door, then at the monster coming their way. He closed his eyes and focused as hard as he could. A green light started to shine from him, making Dark glance at him in confusion, "Anti?"

When he opened his eyes again, Anti was in his demon form, his eyes black and green with septic slime dripping out. His fangs were elongated and his claws were sharp. He sent a look to the devil, who faltered a bit at the sight.

"You will not stop us. Not this time," Anti muttered before shooting a green lightning bolt at him. Lucifer yelped as the bolt tore straight through his wing, making him fall to the ground. Dark smiled and sped up, proud of the demon he was carrying.

They made their way down the last few meters of land before the door, with Lucifer surprisingly still hot on their heels. Anti shot blow after blow at him to keep him far enough to not catch them.

Dark grasped the handle once more, the cold metal biting into his skin as he violently yanked the door open, running through and quickly closing it, followed by a thud from Lucifer bashing against it. The doorknob jiggled as the devil let out roar after roar of frustration. But he could not get through, since he was forever trapped in hell.

Dark watched as the handle was finally released, footsteps getting softer and softer. He let out a cry of relief and collapsed to the ground, lying his head on the dirt in silent gratitude.

Anti shook his head a bit as he slowly turned back to normal, looking around the familiar room. "We did it," he whispered in disbelief, his shoulders visibly relaxing. "Yes we did," Dark smiled brightly, pulling him into a tight hug. Anti smiled and hugged back, finally being able to enjoy the feeling.

"You saved us," Dark cupped his cheek, connecting their foreheads. "If it weren't for you, we would probably be dead by now. Or worse." Anti leaned into his touch, purring happily.

"Thank you so much, Anti. I love you," Dark whispered and placed a kiss on his forehead. Anti grabbed his collar and slammed their lips together, catching Dark by surprise. He quickly wrapped his arms around the smaller, happily kissing back. "I love you too," Anti whispered against his lips. Dark stared at him with the happiest smile at finally hearing those words from him.

Anti kissed him again, wrapping his arms around Darks neck, one hand tangling into his hair. And for once, the were both finally happy.
